Review of 'Mostly Dead Things' on 'Goodreads'

I saw this at an indie bookstore a couple weeks ago and thought it sounded hilarious, based on the jacket blurb. It wasn't hilarious. It was barely even remotely humorous in occasional wisps. Mostly, it was boring, repetitive, and dismal. A friend forewarned; but, I was determined to have a better experience (sometimes we agree on a book; sometimes one of us likes it much more than the other). Not this time, sadly.
